Current Conditions

Ice condition are currently thin and warm temperatures over the weekend really affected area like the alta ice flows.  However Wye creek rock climbing area on the main wall is getting heaps of sun and is quite the little sun trap in winter! Therefore if you are keen to get out and have an adventure on the rock give us a call or email. Currently we will operate with one person!!

Remarkables 29/05/10

The Snow continues to fall on the Remarkables with some large wind drifts of 70cm +.  Certainly has been a large turn around from two weeks ago when we were experiencing some warm temperatures for May. The forecast for Monday and Tuesday looks great and we should get a better idea on conditions and how any ice is forming up. Keep ya posted.

Single Cone Conditions 16/05/10

Rupert reports nice travel up the north ridge of Single Cone. There was minimal snow/ice cover on the actual ridge to the summit. The standard gully route on the eastern aspect has a reasonable amount of snow packed in the gully and crampons are advised. A word of caution that the fixed ropes on the bolted anchors down the gully are unsafe and should not be used. A real contrast currently between northern and southern aspects!

Conditions on the Remarkables 3/5/10

The days of alpine rock and approach shoes to the top of Single Cone are over for the season. Again new snow over night and the southern aspects are holding reasonable amounts of snow at higher elevations ( above 2000m ).

Rupert and Client David found a little ice on the decent ramp to the south face of Single Cone on Saturday.  He also made a comment the standard gully route on Single Cone is filling up. Therefore time to brush of those crampons and ice axe and get into the hills for some early training.
